 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep - Many of the sources aren't independent, reliable or are actually about the company with Smith only appearing for quotes. However, the Forbes article is good, as it's written by an actual staff member which RSN is in favour of, as opposed to a contributor which are not permitted. Lexington Herald Leader also contains a good amount about him, even after filtering out some of the content as direct/indirect quotes. Given he's just meeting GNG, I think he might just edge it, even if another decent source can't be found. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:36, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable businessman. 2 sources, one not really all that in depth, are just not enough to justify articles on businessmen. We need more extensive sourcing than that.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:25, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
